Oil paint advantages

There are many advantages to using oil paints, aside from its hardwearing property. Oil paints can also be left open for long periods of time. In fact, oil paints can often be left exposed to air for up to several weeks without drying. This characteristic makes it possible for an artist to work on a painting over several sessions without fear of the paint drying up too early. Of course, this trait can be looked at as a disadvantage by some, because it takes several weeks for a project to be finished, and the slow drying process can make it difficult to move on to the next stage of the project.
Oil paints are also excellent for blending with surrounding paint. When blended on canvas, oil paints are capable of creating artistic brush strokes and blends that are not possible with other forms of paint. For some artists, however, this advantage to oil paints can be viewed as a disadvantage, because it is also possible to accidentally blend colors while painting that were not meant to be blended.
